I don't hate science and math... at least not in general. I think I just let myself believe I do so that I don't feel the need to work as hard. Some math and science doesn't come easily to me, and I get frustrated, so I think I make myself feel better by saying that I hate it and/or am not good at it. I can be good at some math and science. If I apply myself, I'm sure I can do just fine. I'm even willing to bet that if I had had a more positive attitude about it, I could really enjoy it. I'm sure I'd still prefer more English/language/social studies related subjects more, but I may have limited myself with my bad attitude toward math and science in the past.
I need to be more confident about math and science. I know what I'm doing in the classes I'm in, but I find myself holding back simply because I know I'm out of my comfort zone. In lab today, I knew the answer to four questions but said nothing just in case I was getting things mixed up. Once I realized why I was holding back, I started participating in the discussion more, and I started to find it a lot more interesting. This is case in point why I can't hold back anytime I'm a little bit out of my comfort zone.
On a completely separate, random note, I think mocha M&Ms are my new favorite thing. :)
